Feature: Now With Special Guests!
The GDC War Train of Impossible Enrichment trundles on, and RPS is on the scene with gusto, aplomb, and a stuffed lion. Each day this week, I'll be gathering impromptu panels of colossal brains inside frail (but very handsome) human bodies to dissect the show piece-by-piece. Yesterday, John, Cara, Hayden, and I did so by crawling into bed and talking about our socks. Also games.…
There are so many Humble Bundles now! Why, back in my day, we had to wait 1417 years (uphill, in the snow, beset on all sides by lackluster deals and also wolverines) for fresh bowls of piping hot generosity, and we... well, I mean, we liked it, yeah, but honestly? We're talking about great games on the cheap for good causes. So far, more has…

Feature: "You can now replicate QWOP in Incredipede"
Incredipede was one of last year's most delightful surprises, and you should feel ashamed for not playing it. The grotesquely adorable creature constructor was not, however, without its flaws, and creator Colin Northway has no trouble admitting it. Now, though, Qwozzle's got her tiny yet mighty sights set on Steam, and she'll be completing her dogged climb into Newell's house of wonders (and hopefully apples)…

This time around, though, he's used sinewy strands of muscle to bind QWOP-ish controls and heaps of charm to Contraption's impressively freeform puzzle-solving. But do the added ingredients take the formula to new heights, or does the whole thing come tumbling down in…
Incredipede is kind of disgusting. Not Human Centipede disgusting - or even normal centipede disgusting, for that matter - but still a little yucky. As you add writhing masses of legs and muscle clusters to your 'pede's eyeball body, it becomes all the more likely to flop and flail and squish and splorch in adorably grotesque fashions. Don't get me wrong, though: it's magical. I just messed…

Left to steer the good ship RPS on my own today, I was feeling a little grim. Jaw set, lip slightly curled, brow furrowed, coffee cup crushed by my feeble fist: you know the look. Then I watched this footage of Incredipede ('a game about life and feet'), the next offering from the creator of Fantastic Contraption, and now I keep giggling to myself and…
